In Search of Mathematical Miracles

Over the years, many claims have been made of miraculous
patterns occurring beneath the text of sacred texts.
Included are the Hebrew scriptures, the Greek text of the
New Testament, the Arabic text of the Qur'an, and even
the Book of Mormon.

This page contains a collection of resources on the subject.
Our position is sceptical, and that is reflected in our
choice of material.

Ivan Panin was a Russian emigrant who claimed to have discovered
numerical patterns in the Hebrew scriptures and in the Greek
text of the New Testament.
His patterns involved counting of letters and words as well as
gematria (numerical values of letters).
